Minecraft & Python Coding, Robotics, Hands-On-Science

Summer Programs for Kids ages 6-18

Acton, MA

June 22, 2026 - August 28, 2026 (choose any week)

We want your children’s summer coding and robotics experience to be fun and interactive! For ages 6-9, we teach coding through Minecraft Education. For ages 9-12, we have different levels of Python. Students are grouped by age/experience so each student has plenty of 1-1 time with our award-winning teachers. For teens, we offer the Python, Java, and STEM counselor-in-training program, where students learn STEM & coding while learning how to teach & mentor younger children.

A typical day will include coding and off-screen STEM activity like Lego Robotics, 3D printing and hands-on science experiments.

Plus outdoor time every day (weather permitting).

  • 8:30am-9am (Early Drop Off)

Hear why people love our Summer Sessions!

  • "“My boys described this as "the best camp ever" and loving the robotics portion of camp. They also weren't sure what to expect with the science experiments but have come home raving about them, very proud of what they made in the 3D printer and their slime. They are loving their experience.”

    — Katie R.

  • "Riley has come home super excited about the day's activities. She's learned so much thus far, and the staff has done a fantastic job nurturing her love for coding/STEM”

    — Michael T.

  • "It was inclusive and fun! Best camp of the summer! Great instructors!”

    — Anissa T.

  • “My son absolutely loves this week at camp. It is a great balance of serious learning that makes him feel proud of the skills he gained, but also mixed with regular games and outdoor time. He looks forward to continuing learning Python during the school year! Thank you for cultivating his love of coding.”

    — Deanna S.

  • "Our child is really enjoying the balance of coding instruction and varied science/3D printing activities throughout the day.. and they are making new friends!”

    — Madhu S.

  • “Penguin has been amazing for us. My son started at a Penguin summer camp when he was 6 years old, and immediately found that he absolutely loved coding. He loved it so much, he insisted on doing it afterschool throughout the school year, and we've been with Penguin ever since in either summer or after-school. I think the best part of Penguin are the instructors. They provide a really welcoming environment that's really engaging for the kids.”

    — Derrick N.

  • "CJ loves the class. He especially liked making a few new friends through Minecraft. Nice job keeping the time on topics reasonable. CJ gets a little distracted so having the variety during the day was helpful.”
